Elianah, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. It is truly sad as he was so young. I am hoping that you have found some peace. I send prayers to you for comfort as I know it's tough losing a parent & it's not easy. Take care. ❤🙏
Hey Elianah - I was thinking of you & wondering how you were. Your post here shows you are a thoughtful, intelligent, & compassionate young lady, & I bet your Dad looks down & is so proud of you. It was heart breaking to see your pain. You & your family will stay in my prayers always. Elianah - your Dad left a legacy & gift of donating his organs, but the most important legacy & gift he left the world is you. Sending lots of love from South Australia ❣
Elianah, thank you to you and your family for sharing your Dad's honor walk. I can't imagine how that day was for all of you. The gifts your father gave to the people who needed transplants was the most selfless, caring, and honorable thing possible ❤ I am so sorry for the tremendous loss of your father. Keep shining your light, you have a whole bunch of people rooting for you forever all over the world!! ❤❤

Es gibt viele Dinge zwischen Himmel und Erde, die wir nicht verstehen. Wo lebt die Seele in einem Menschen ? Wir fühlen und denken nicht nur mit dem Gehirn, sondern mit dem Bauch, Herzen, mit allen Organen. Dein Vater hat exakt realisiert, dass Du neben ihm gelegen hast. Min. 07:44 eine starke Reaktion seines Körpers. Organspender sind nicht tot. Tote kann man nicht beatmen. Man würde sie blasen wie ein Luftballon. Organspender sind Menschen, die sich auf dem Weg in das Totenreich befinden. Sie werden auf ihrer Reise gestoppt. Während der Entnahme der Organe steigt der Blutdruck, sie schwitzen. Das sind Symptome für Stress. Nur Menschen, die noch nicht tot sind, fühlen Stress.
I really need to stop watching these honor walks. So emotional. So sad. I can only hope that people feel as loving and supportive of me when my time comes. He was loved.
@@williamgallucci9913 I'm a former ICU nurse and I have made these honor walks with the donor patients and their families too. It was such a sobering experience. I tried to focus on all the good that would come from this sad situation. God bless those families for making such a selfless decision to help others while dealing with a tragic loss.
Regardless of how or why this beautiful man passed away , you only have to see how much that little girl loved her Daddy to know how amazing he was. Addiction is a horrible disease that takes so many . I hope this little girl treasures the beautiful memories of her daddy . He lives on xx
Next month will mark 5 years since my heart transplant. I am beyond thankful that my life was saved by someone else's willingness to think of others during the hardest time in their lives. I can never repay them for the gift that they so graciously gave to me. Each year we celebrate the life of my donor even though I don't know his name I know his heart. My donor would have been 22 this year and as the mother of a nearly 22 year old I can never imagine losing my baby girl. I cherish my gift every day and will honor my donor for the rest if my life. I hate the word donor so he's called Sweet Prince.
jackie colon ... your Sweet Prince knows who YOU are. Every single time you mention him or your thanks to him he hears you and smiles. When you speak someone's name they hear you, I know it's true because when I say "Mommy", she makes my heart skip a beat almost like a flutter. I'm not a religious person, I just believe they're on the other side of the veil. Wishing you health and happiness and a lovely long life with your daughter close. Be safe ...
As a recipient of donated plasma every month for over ten years I thank God for his peoples' generosity! I literally probably 'have the whole world inside of me.' God knows I wouldn't be alive without so many generose individuals whose filled with love and a sense of responsibility to helping others. I wish I could have been a donor, even after life b/c -it is just so important, but I am one of the lucky ones whose in the circle of love as a recipient. I and my family send loads of gratitude and love to this family and all those who pass on the gift of life! The most precious gift is not money, it's a part of one's self ;-) Reciever since the age of 12 (that I can remember), I'm sure it's way before that.
That little girl lying on her daddy's bed and trying to hold on to those last few moments killed me 😭😭 I was crying just as hard. No girl should lose her knight in shinning armor so soon.
Seeing his daughter lying next to her Daddy one last time just broke my heart. Trying to hold back the sobs so I don't wake up my wife and daughter. God what a tearjerker!
16 years ago a VERY loving, courageous HERO saved my life. I received the gift of a liver from a HERO and their family. This gift has given ME the opportunity to see my children graduate high school, university, get married, and buy homes. There is not ONE single day that I don't think of my donor, or their family. The love, gratitude, and respect I have for them is simply hard to put into words. To ALL the families who have lost their loved ones, and CHOSE to donate, I Thank You from the bottom of my heart... Your loved one MATTERS to people like me...and that decision enables others to have thar 2nd chance at health...God Bless ALL donors...and may God ALWAYS bless their families...🙏
Anyone who has anything negitive to say about this man clearly did not know him, I grew up around him, he was a better mentor to me then my abusive father, I didn’t live anywhere near jobs like restaurants or anything so he would let me clean the cars he bought and sold just so I could have a little money, he took me fishing, let me hang out at his house as a escape, we all have issues, I myself was addicted to drugs for awhile, that doesn’t make you a bad person. You know what does? Judging someone you didn’t even know at all Rest In Peace Josh No homo but I love you Collin chervenka
Sweet baby girl...my heart is breaking for you. Losing your daddy is so SO hard sweetheart especially when you're so young. Your daddy is a hero for being so loving to strangers that he's giving them a new life. What a wonderful and kind dad you have. So SO sorry to the family on your loss.
I cried so hard for her. This is the saddest honour walk video I’ve ever seen. She looks a few years younger than my niece and I hope to God my niece will have her dad for decades to come
What a beautiful sentiment you've written. My heart absolutely breaks for her BUT I TRULY HOPE & PRAY that she knows her daddy is still with her know spirit & that she can remember him in the loving manner that is being shown here of him giving the gift of life!!!!! I HIGHLY DOUBT she'll ever read our posts in the sea of comments HOWEVER I HOPE she'll somehow find what you have so lovingly written as well as what I'm about to say: *Hunnie, your father was the best kind of father anyone could ever wish for. He's given such a beautiful gift to families that won't have to hurt the way you must be hurting right now! Even though he's not completely physically here, he is AND ALWAYS WILL BE in your heart!!! I hope you will one day find peace in knowing what a wonderful and compassionate man he was/is and I know I don't know him BUT THIS tribute video speaks volumes about who he was!!!!!* 💖💔😢💔💖
i am a recipient of a donor gift ....this brings me to tears because how can you ever thank your donor?....feeling so sad and thankful at the same time....
My son was on drugs. The most amazing.. Loving.. Son.. Never says a nasty word about anybody.. I daily cried out to Jesus. The most painful thing for a parent. He's now free of of drugs and alcohol. Dont give up praying. .
I just want to say. I felt the love in that room through the video!! I have never cried so much for someone i didn't know. God bless this family. He knew he was loved. Sorry for your loss little one. You have to know your daddy loved you.
This Walk of Honor touched me more than anyone of them that I have watched.😢😢😢. God bless this family. My husband even had tears running down his cheeks. The beautiful little girl was so heartbroken 💔. Bless her little heart.😢
Elianah is the name of this Beautiful Baby Girl, and she has posted here TWICE now in HONOR of her Dad, Josh, and to Thank everyone here!! Her BEAUTIFUL posts are something you MUST READ because she will LIFT YOUR HEART, Sweet Girl that she is!! Josh is SO PROUD of his Elianah as he watches over Her!! 🙏❤️💕🌹🙏
To hear that sweet little girl let that cry out, there is no worse pain to feel as a mom. A pain that you can’t fix, you can’t kiss it away. Ohhh my heart breaks for you all. ❤️😘🙏🏻
josh ....was a mentor to me he stopped me from things i thought i never do and made me better for it josh i love u man i miss u everyday u were like my 2nd family i wanna tell you i made it to college like you wanted me too im also on the soccer team im a captain and we wear writ bands with your name on them on my birthday imma finally get jp tatted near my heart so u will never leave me i love u brother fly high-your goofy little brother Shane
I have got to stop watching these, I have no liquid left in my body and my muscles hurt from holding back sobs...well then we see the little girl and I gave up. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I don't know what happened to him and it doesn't matter, he is giving the ultimate gift you can give which says enough. RIP Joshua
This has me in tears, reminds me of the day we had to say goodbye to our 23 yr old son, he didn't get a honor walk but he did donate, may you rest in paradise youngman ❤
This is the most heartbreaking, heart wrenching thing I have ever witnessed. You were so loved Joshua, that is clear. God please protect his baby girl and his family
When his babygirl cried, I cried, I remember that kind of pain cause I was 12 years old when my mom passed. Sweetheart, if you ever read this, just know, the pain will not hurt this bad forever, you will learn to live your life with it AND you WILL ALWAYS make daddy PROUD. 🙏😇🌷❤🌷❤😇🙏
Okay, here's the deal... While the discussion of addiction OR accidental overdose is a valid one, this is not the time or place for such. On the worst day of their life, This grieving family & friends shared a very intimate moment. Showing the love & admiration that they share for this beautiful man, who clearly has touched so many around him. As well as the gift of life they have shared at such an excruciatingly difficult time in their lives. This is the place to honor those things & lift up his family & friends in the worst possible time you can imagine. Clearly a beautiful soul was lost by all whom he touched. THIS is the place for THAT discussion. I send my condolences to the family & friends of this remarkable man. 💔 You have so much to be proud of. R.I.P. Josh. It's not difficult to see that you will be missed by so many.
XxHarmony63Xx...Very well said. Don't worry about the naysayers sitting in judgement, let them keep living because life has a way of showing up with the unexpected. Pray for the family's healing. What and/or why does it matter how this man passed away? The insensitive negative comments brings out the "best" in some humans...not, worst in compassion!
To those who have died by overdose I feel they we're in some kind of pain I lost 2 people in my life and I feel they are in peace now with God and now they can be in peace so just think of it that way sorry for your lost sweet heart 💜❤️ rest assure your dad's happy
Every so often I search for videos of Josh just to be able to hear his voice again, just to be able to see him again. The first time I read the comment he had just passed. It was really hard to see negative mean comments being made about your family's tragedy. Now 2 years later I have gone through almost every comment, and I am comforted by the amount of lives Josh's honor walk has touched. He WAS a good man and MANY loved him. I wish that would have been enough to save him. I can say the family reads comment and searches for comfort. I know his daughter read comment so thank you for the kind and loving comments to her especially. I have found some comfort knowing Josh has brought so much awareness to drug addiction and people need to see the drug additction is sad, and not to be looked down upon. They are someone's husband, father, brother, son, cousin , and friend. They are loved. They need help. I love you Joshua, it has been almost 2 years exactly and it still doesn't seem real. You touched people's lives all around the world. Till we meet again butt head. 😭❤
Excuse my language but how the Hell can you give a thumbs down for this video this family showed so much love for him and i felt so sorry for his daughter but baby girl he is giving someone else a chance at life what a great dad you have
Harry Burdette thumbs down could also mean that they are sad this happened and not intentionally meant to dislike video but maybe disliking what the family had gone through and the sadness 😭
Because losing a good daddy is the hardest thing we as kid have to go through. Im 39 and not a day goes by that at one point i time my daddy crosses my mind. I cry for him still. I wish i could travel back in time and beg the person not to kill my daddy. He ruined my life. No one and nothing can ever heal that pain.
While the walk is happening, I can’t help but notice the beautiful pictures they have put up around him to show how wonderful his life was. The picture of him and his wife on their wedding day on his chest, absolutely breaks my heart, they looked so happy. God bless this family.
John 16:22 So with you:Now is your time of grief,but I will see you again and you will rejoice,and no one will take away your joy...May God guide you thru this difficult time...Blessings from Cali with love❤
I have never forgotten my time on the organ retrieval team. I'm so glad people talk to the donor patients to the end, as we know hearing is the last sense to leave us. They know you love them and are proud of them. ❤
I work in an operating room in the UK. I am involved with the process of organ donation. Each time I am present I remember. the families and the deeply loved person that I am now tasked to look after. I try to think of the multiple patients out there that will benefit from this final act of heroism. Thank you for your selfless actions. RIP
Thank you for thinking of people like me durring the worst time of your lives. I'm waiting for a kidney transplant. Your kindness is saving and improving lives.
God Bless you. I hope you get your kidney soon. My fiancee donated and saved 4 lives on Valentine's day 3 years ago. Giving his heart on Valentine's Day. 💜 There isn't a day I don't miss him but I am so happy that he was able to save lives. God Bless you.
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful man. It must have been so very hard for you to say goodbye. Just to let you know people are still watching and sending you strength ❤❤
seeing the medical professionals grieve openly with the family warms my heart because it reminds me that we're all human and possess the same emotions and that's something we can all share regardless of how different we all are on both the inside and out. ❤ I pray for continued strength and peace.
My heart goes out to this sweet family.. my heart broke watching the little girl cry and I hurt just knowing how you all loved Josh .. God bless each one and know you’ll see him someday up in Heaven..
Idk why I came across this. I was looking for songs for my daughters upcoming wedding in July. Ty to Josh & his family for the selfless act of the Gift of Life. I lost a fiancé in 2011 to a heart attack at the age of 41 & his mother & I made the decision to donate whatever they could take. In a way Josh too lives on..when I saw the Nurse wipe her eyes it made me cry all over again. May he rest in peace.
@@2115virgo13 of course they did and still do they are a family. No family wants their child to hurt. But I don't know her and I live in a different country but I still want to take her pain and grief away. Possibly because my mum was 10 when her dad died and she is still feeling the pain and grief. Possibly because she never got to go to the funeral and feels she never got to say goodbye.
This literally broke my heart in to a million pieces and I never cried so hard over a TH-cam video may God Bless this family and wrap his arms around them in love and peace
This was so heartbreaking to watch. Hearing his daughter cry out and lay with him till the very end made me sob 😭 I just lost my best friend/2nd mother to a overdose but could never imagine being that young and feeling such pain her and her family will forever be in my prayers and I pray they find peace . What this man did to save many lives is truly amazing
I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my mom when I was 49. I couldn't even imagine losing a parent as a nine-year-old. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.♥️
I am always so blown away by the strength and courage these families have. It is a completely selfless act to give life when you are in the the depths of such a horrendous loss of your own. rIP
My heart just broke, and I fell to tears seeing that beautiful little girl who's heart was truly hurting saying over and over how she loves him. Honey, if you see this I know you're pain. I just lost my grandma November 3rd after having her 100 years she would have been 101 in January. It hurts so very much as I too cried as you did telling my grandma how much I love her as she was the one that taught me so much in my life. Pain will lessen in time. It won't be as it was that day, and you will never forget him ever! You hold tight to the memory of him and all the love and good times you had. You grow up to be what he wanted for you and make him proud honey this will be another way to honor him just like that day he gave of himself to save others. You can do so much good in life to help others and honor him in what you choose to do in your life. Honey, make him even more proud then I'm sure he was of you even now. I believe there are floorboards in heaven that they look down to see us and we can feel there love come through them as they watch over us. You have my love and I share your hearts pain with you and your family. Debra Barranco
I dont believe organ donors ever truly die, because they live on through the people they save. Physically they're not here but their organs are alive out there. 💙💙💙
Your family did a great thing…. I spent several years working as a nurse in the operating theatre, on the retrieval side and recipient side, for two different liver transplant units.. it has been the most job-satisfying work I have ever done..people would often say how depressing that job must be, but it isn’t. Especially when you look at the other side….A number of years ago, I was on a study day on Liver transplant, of course. There were all sorts of speakers, a donor family spoke, a recipient family spoke, doctors and surgeons spoke etc…on the recipient side, a mother spoke about her young son, who was just 2 years old, she had a slideshow of pictures of her son, which showed a jaundiced infant, lying across his moms lap. He appeared to be quite floppy, and sleepy, she told us that he slept for most of the day. We asked her questions, and continued the conversations across our lunchtime, which gave us a much greater understanding of where she was coming from. Moving on, after lunch we had 3 more speakers to listen to. As we started taking our seats after lunch, there were a couple of kids crawling under the seats, over the seats, and literally running wild. We figured that they must’ve snuck in the room, from the hotel lobby, while we were at lunch, and were just having fun playing amongst the chairs. But, as it turned out, one of the two kids crawling and jumping around the room, was the same child that we had seen in the slideshow earlier that day. The kiddie had had his liver transplant, and he was just as rambunctious as his brother…. When someone is brain dead, which means they have already passed away, there isn’t anything that you can do to change that..however, as sad as it may be, to offer their organs so that someone else can enjoy the fullness of their life, is the ultimate gift in my book… The most amazing thing to watch, especially on the recipient side, is to see a liver, (arrives cold, grey and on ice ) get reconnected, and once it is re-perfused, pink up with the flow of fresh blood. It’s truly stunning to see it.. and often within half an hour of re-perfusion, the liver starts working again, and the recipients patient blood work numbers, just get better and better..and they get to go on with their life, thanks to your family member.
This was the most heartbreaking honor walk I have seen. I refuse to watch anymore now. I died this year. My mom found me dead & she had to do CPR & 15 paramedics & firies came. Worked on me for 2.5hrs then finally got a heart beat back at 2bpm but still wasnt breathing so was in a coma for ages. I have seen the way it affected my mom. I wish I could take that pain away from her. ♡ R.I.P Josh! You will always live on in so many families, your daughter, wife, organ receivers etc. ♡♡♡
Elijana,potresla me tvoja priča i tvoje suze Svako ima svoju sudbinu.Neka tvoj tata počiva u miru a tebi iskreno saučešce i mnogo srece u daljem žibotu Pozdrav iz Srbije❤
I have watched many of these Honor Walks over the last few weeks. I am equally heartbroken over them and in awe of the strength and love they and their families have to give their lives so that others may live. I cry for each one of these amazing heros and their families. But Joshua's Honor Walk destroyed me. Seeing the love surrounding him made my heart expand even as their tears....and mine....flowed freely. To Joshua's family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you can take bit of comfort from the fact that part of him lives on in those he so generously gave to. And also the fact that he was so very loved by all of you. And he loved all of you. To Joshua: You are a true hero to so many. And have inspired me to inquire about becoming a donor. You will always be a guardian angel to those who knew and loved you....and to so many others who didn't....especially those who live on because of your precious gift to them. R.I.P. Joshua❤
I didn't make it to the end of this video. When his baby girl got in bed with him I fell apart. Entirely to much for me to handle. Brought to tears. RIP Joshua
I was reading through the comments and somebody said addiction. I'm not sure if it was that or not. People seem to miss the point when the word addiction comes out. To me the point is this man's gift gave someone the chance to live. And that will be something that beautiful little girl can carry with her the rest of her life. Knowing her father die a hero.
Hearing that little girl cry, breaks my heart. I'm over here bawling my eyes out just watching. I pray they find peace and healing. It's never easy losing someone you love.
No words to say to help ease the pain of having a loved ones passing away. That little girl beside her Dad what really got to me. I was hoping for her Dad would wake up open his eyes and to turn to look at his daughter and say, I Love You, I will be ok, God gave me another chance with you and your Mom. Rest in Peace Brother, may your family one day see you again very soon.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful husband and father. I wish I could thank him for being an organ donor. From a person needing a heart transplant, I can tell you how very precious this gift is. Transplant patients get a new chance to live. I hope your pain eases and you are comforted knowing how many people he gave new life to that day.
This was without doubt very difficult to witness. Although being extremely heartbreaking, the witnessing of such deep love was absolutely beautiful. Such an act of unselfish kindness in the midst of pain and heartbreak, the gift of donation. A life changing event, changing the lives of others in need ! BEAUTIFUL ❤️
OUFFFFF 😭😭😭😫 ce vidéo m'a littéralement chamboulé 😖 tellement, tellement triste surtout sa fille qui pleure à chaude larme et qui veut être le plus près possible de son papa... 😭😭😭 cela me fait aussi réfléchir aux dons d'organes... À des vies qui peuvent être sauvé.... Très émouvant cette marche en l'honneur des personnes qui donne leurs organes 😣😥😢😭
This touched me so. God bless you and your family. The song has touched my soul... you see I’m sick with incurable cancer. I am a organ donor but my heart is broken because I can no longer give that gift. This song is saved for my memorial. Thank you for sharing your personal experience it helps others. God Speed
The most precious gift someone can give a total stranger in the worst time for loved ones. What a honorable young man you were. Blessings on your way home to our maker. May God put his hands on your loved ones.
Thank you for sharing such a difficult moment with us. You brought me into your world and I can tell that he meant a lot to you all. He touched so many lives. He did his purpose, he fulfilled his duties and was called home. What a beautiful end to his story, that he saved other lives so they can also fulfill their duties. My heart goes out to you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh my GOD! That poor little girl! My heart broke for her. I work in a V.A. Medical Center and I have to give out a shout to ALL nurses. It's one thing when you see the family grieving, but when you see the nurses crying... DAMN!!! May our creator bless this family and that little girl. Hug her every minute...
Beautiful memories captured ❣ Life is continuous...this earth is just a tiny piece of it...heaven is where our real home is and where your loved one now resides....enjoy all the beautiful gifts and unconditionall love. Your loved one just arrived a little earlier than the rest of us...he will be waiting patiently till our lifes work is complete. Thank you so much for being a ultimate organ donor❣ My late fiancee became one too in 2008 doing what he loved riding his motorcycle, 2011 in his honor I became a living kidney donor to my insurance agent God bless.....and he has❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
To the little girl, Be strong, he still loves you. Cherish the moments you were with him. I lost my Dad on the day I was born...I wish I have a few memories
That little girl losing her daddy is the saddest thing I have ever seen. I hope your days are brighter honey. Your dad is a hero to those needing him most.
1st the room is packed with loved ones.😢they had pictures taped too his bed. This young man was so loved. My heart broke 💔for his wife family and it was so special the nurse helped his daughter on his bed. She needed that. May God lift him up with arms wrapped around him. 🙏I can't imagine all there pains that day and however long it takes them. Hes in there hearts forever ♥that was the most staff family and friends I've ever seen in a honor walk. He lives on in others. A hero! 😭😭😭
A daddy' s loss is such a tragedy, I can see me at her age crying so much.Hope God will give her the strenght to go on, poor little girl, my heart is breaking down 😥😥
About the time he passed a dear cousin received a liver from a donor who passed after a drug overdose. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for the sacrifice. Cousin is well and forever grateful ❤️
I don't know why this showed up in my recommend, but I watching. My heart hurts for you and tears are pouring. I am so sorry for your loss. Bless all of you.
To see the nurse with tears, so touching. I am one who sometimes assists with the donation. I always shed tears afterwards. They are all someone who is loved so much, and despite it being such a wonderful gift, it's still so sad, for so many people. It always makes my heart hurt for the families. R.I.P Joshua. Thank you for your amazing gift.
I don’t know this family and I was in tears by the end of this video. Seeing the little daughter in pain over losing her daddy struck my heart, and could only imagine my sons feeling that way if they ever lost my husband. Bless him for donating his organs and saving lives. My heart goes out for the whole family, and I wish I could personally hug each and everyone of you.
As a nurse I always cried with my patients , families and friends over any loss. The selflessness of these families who donate the gift of life to so many I know will be blessed. I just don't understand anyone who would give a thumbs down to this show of respect!♥️🙏💐
Wow. This man and how he lived for his friends and family, to generate such an outpouring of love, has touched the hearts of a million strangers around the world. Can’t ask for a better epitaph than that.
This was by far one of the most saddest walk of honor I have watched😢couldn't stop the tears...and I seen some of the comments on what happened to him and none of us has any room to throw stones at someone else when we don't know them personally never walked a day in their skin and even if then who of us could stand if God kept count of all our shortcomings no one is perfect so it matters none the demons he battled he's gone so may his family find comfort in The God of all comfort.
I'm so sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. God bless all of the family and friends, and condolences to all who are involved. And, God bless the family for the wonderful gift that Josh has given to those in need. This reminds me of how precious life is, and that we should appreciate our lives and the lives of all of our loved ones. Rest in peace Joshua. I cried along with them. His daughter hurting just breaks my heart.
I’m not crying...I just have something in my eye. These videos are so heartbreaking but also so inspiring because of what the families who lose someone they love do for those who don’t have a chance without their help. I could not stop crying when the girl curled up next to him. RIP Joshua for you are now with Jesus up in heaven and all those you left behind and loved you so much will see you again some day
This is a very well loved man. Completely broke my heart. Especially when they put that little girl up there with him. My heart goes out to his family and friends. As a donor family, the Living Legacy Foundation will always be there for you! God bless this family.
It breaks my heart to hear that precious baby cry for her father. So young to have to go through something so traumatic. God bless the family that mourn Josh’s death.
These honor walks get more and more touching. The precious little girl in this video melts my heart. Must be her daddy. I cry with her. Bless 🙏 this precious 👼 and his family he left behind.

It was heart breaking to see your pain. You & your family will stay in my prayers always.
Elianah - your Dad left a legacy & gift of donating his organs, but the most important legacy & gift he left the world is you.

Very sad but he lives on in you and the orgens he gave to others, take care from Japan
Elianah, thank you to you and your family for sharing your Dad's honor walk. I can't imagine how that day was for all of you. The gifts your father gave to the people who needed transplants was the most selfless, caring, and honorable thing possible ❤ I am so sorry for the tremendous loss of your father. Keep shining your light, you have a whole bunch of people rooting for you forever all over the world!! ❤❤

Es gibt viele Dinge zwischen Himmel und Erde, die wir nicht verstehen. Wo lebt die Seele in einem Menschen ? Wir fühlen und denken nicht nur mit dem Gehirn, sondern mit dem Bauch, Herzen, mit allen Organen. Dein Vater hat exakt realisiert, dass Du neben ihm gelegen hast. Min. 07:44 eine starke Reaktion seines Körpers. Organspender sind nicht tot. Tote kann man nicht beatmen. Man würde sie blasen wie ein Luftballon. Organspender sind Menschen, die sich auf dem Weg in das Totenreich befinden. Sie werden auf ihrer Reise gestoppt. Während der Entnahme der Organe steigt der Blutdruck, sie schwitzen. Das sind Symptome für Stress. Nur Menschen, die noch nicht tot sind, fühlen Stress.
He will be proud of the strong young lady you have become. Bless you.
All the best to you, Merry Christmas!!!! xxx
You are an amazing daughter. God Bless You
❤
I really need to stop watching these honor walks. So emotional. So sad. I can only hope that people feel as loving and supportive of me when my time comes. He was loved.
Very difficult to watch but also a few precious lives are gonna be saved by the actions of this man god bless
@@williamgallucci9913 I'm a former ICU nurse and I have made these honor walks with the donor patients and their families too. It was such a sobering experience. I tried to focus on all the good that would come from this sad situation. God bless those families for making such a selfless decision to help others while dealing with a tragic loss.
Me too.. I'm addicted
me too
Me too. I sit and watch 1 after another crying. Very sad and depressing.
Regardless of how or why this beautiful man passed away , you only have to see how much that little girl loved her Daddy to know how amazing he was. Addiction is a horrible disease that takes so many . I hope this little girl treasures the beautiful memories of her daddy . He lives on xx
I'm a grown man and crying like a baby watching this break's my heart in half. God bless this family.
That’s because you are a human being with human spirit.
Yes I cry everytime I see these It really hurts to see them go through this so sorry for the family's loss
I'm so sorry! That kind of pain runs very deep! It's like being stabbed by a knife!
You have a heart ❤️
😭😭😭😭😭😭Omg I'm so sad right now.
Next month will mark 5 years since my heart transplant. I am beyond thankful that my life was saved by someone else's willingness to think of others during the hardest time in their lives. I can never repay them for the gift that they so graciously gave to me. Each year we celebrate the life of my donor even though I don't know his name I know his heart. My donor would have been 22 this year and as the mother of a nearly 22 year old I can never imagine losing my baby girl. I cherish my gift every day and will honor my donor for the rest if my life. I hate the word donor so he's called Sweet Prince.
jackie colon ... your Sweet Prince knows who YOU are. Every single time you mention him or your thanks to him he hears you and smiles. When you speak someone's name they hear you, I know it's true because when I say "Mommy", she makes my heart skip a beat almost like a flutter. I'm not a religious person, I just believe they're on the other side of the veil.
Wishing you health and happiness and a lovely long life with your daughter close. Be safe ...
Praise God '_) Love to hear some GOOD news in times like these.
As a recipient of donated plasma every month for over ten years I thank God for his peoples' generosity! I literally probably 'have the whole world inside of me.' God knows I wouldn't be alive without so many generose individuals whose filled with love and a sense of responsibility to helping others.
I wish I could have been a donor, even after life b/c -it is just so important, but I am one of the lucky ones whose in the circle of love as a recipient.
I and my family send loads of gratitude and love to this family and all those who pass on the gift of life! The most precious gift is not money, it's a part of one's self ;-)
Reciever since the age of 12 (that I can remember), I'm sure it's way before that.
Beautifully stated! 🌹💖
Jackie. Beautifully said. Bless u
That little girl lying on her daddy's bed and trying to hold on to those last few moments killed me 😭😭 I was crying just as hard. No girl should lose her knight in shinning armor so soon.
Seeing his daughter lying next to her Daddy one last time just broke my heart. Trying to hold back the sobs so I don't wake up my wife and daughter. God what a tearjerker!
That got me! That's when I started crying.
Me too 💔 precious last few moments with her daddy
my God what did i just watch
That got me too, I'm crying thinking what if that were me and my daughter?
Progressive Talk I know the feeling . I was crying so hard watching this little girl cry over the loss of her dad
16 years ago a VERY loving, courageous HERO saved my life. I received the gift of a liver from a HERO and their family.
This gift has given ME the opportunity to see my children graduate high school, university, get married, and buy homes.
There is not ONE single day that I don't think of my donor, or their family.
The love, gratitude, and respect I have for them is simply hard to put into words.
To ALL the families who have lost their loved ones, and CHOSE to donate, I Thank You from the bottom of my heart...
Your loved one MATTERS to people like me...and that decision enables others to have thar 2nd chance at health...God Bless ALL donors...and may God ALWAYS bless their families...🙏
Anyone who has anything negitive to say about this man clearly did not know him, I grew up around him, he was a better mentor to me then my abusive father, I didn’t live anywhere near jobs like restaurants or anything so he would let me clean the cars he bought and sold just so I could have a little money, he took me fishing, let me hang out at his house as a escape, we all have issues, I myself was addicted to drugs for awhile, that doesn’t make you a bad person. You know what does? Judging someone you didn’t even know at all
Rest In Peace Josh
No homo but I love you
Collin chervenka
Collin stay strong and healthy, love from Amsterdam The Netherlands Esther ❤👍.
Hey what happend to him? ....its ok bruh ...to say u love him...just because he's a man...that's what life is all about ...May he RIP...
Collin Chervenka he was my uncle 😭
Kobby Koomson he was lacing on Drugs and that lead to his Death 😭....R.I.P uncle josh
Thank you for sharing your story,you are blessed to have him as a eternal light in your life.💞
Sweet baby girl...my heart is breaking for you. Losing your daddy is so SO hard sweetheart especially when you're so young. Your daddy is a hero for being so loving to strangers that he's giving them a new life. What a wonderful and kind dad you have. So SO sorry to the family on your loss.
I cried so hard for her. This is the saddest honour walk video I’ve ever seen. She looks a few years younger than my niece and I hope to God my niece will have her dad for decades to come
What a beautiful sentiment you've written. My heart absolutely breaks for her BUT I TRULY HOPE & PRAY that she knows her daddy is still with her know spirit & that she can remember him in the loving manner that is being shown here of him giving the gift of life!!!!!
I HIGHLY DOUBT she'll ever read our posts in the sea of comments HOWEVER I HOPE she'll somehow find what you have so lovingly written as well as what I'm about to say:
*Hunnie, your father was the best kind of father anyone could ever wish for. He's given such a beautiful gift to families that won't have to hurt the way you must be hurting right now! Even though he's not completely physically here, he is AND ALWAYS WILL BE in your heart!!! I hope you will one day find peace in knowing what a wonderful and compassionate man he was/is and I know I don't know him BUT THIS tribute video speaks volumes about who he was!!!!!* 💖💔😢💔💖
He is with you sweetheart. Always. ❤ don't stop talking to him. He hear you.❤
@@museti-zd2ee This is so true. I go visit my grandparents grave when I feel lost.
Absolutely😢
i am a recipient of a donor gift ....this brings me to tears because how can you ever thank your donor?....feeling so sad and thankful at the same time....
My son was on drugs. The most amazing.. Loving.. Son.. Never says a nasty word about anybody..
I daily cried out to Jesus.
The most painful thing for a parent. He's now free of of drugs and alcohol.
Dont give up praying.
.
Amen
I just want to say. I felt the love in that room through the video!! I have never cried so much for someone i didn't know. God bless this family. He knew he was loved. Sorry for your loss little one. You have to know your daddy loved you.
This Walk of Honor touched me more than anyone of them that I have watched.😢😢😢. God bless this family. My husband even had tears running down his cheeks. The beautiful little girl was so heartbroken 💔. Bless her little heart.😢
Elianah is the name of this Beautiful Baby Girl, and she has posted here TWICE now in HONOR of her Dad, Josh, and to Thank everyone here!! Her BEAUTIFUL posts are something you MUST READ because she will LIFT YOUR HEART, Sweet Girl that she is!! Josh is SO PROUD of his Elianah as he watches over Her!! 🙏❤️💕🌹🙏
To hear that sweet little girl let that cry out, there is no worse pain to feel as a mom. A pain that you can’t fix, you can’t kiss it away. Ohhh my heart breaks for you all. ❤️😘🙏🏻
Lord Jesus give this little angel strength
I really had tears in my eyes when heard his daughter. It brought back memories.
Agree, I lost it when I heard her... :(
Yeah, I died a little inside when I heard that.
I know
josh ....was a mentor to me he stopped me from things i thought i never do and made me better for it josh i love u man i miss u everyday u were like my 2nd family i wanna tell you i made it to college like you wanted me too im also on the soccer team im a captain and we wear writ bands with your name on them on my birthday imma finally get jp tatted near my heart so u will never leave me i love u brother fly high-your goofy little brother Shane
I have got to stop watching these, I have no liquid left in my body and my muscles hurt from holding back sobs...well then we see the little girl and I gave up. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I don't know what happened to him and it doesn't matter, he is giving the ultimate gift you can give which says enough. RIP Joshua
Yes. Me too. I gotta stop watching these.
He died from suicide
It’s irrelevant, but see it’s in response to the first comment. His poor daughter. Her sobs are truly heartbreaking.
I keep watching them as well
This is the one that really cracked my heart so far ....RIP Josh .
This has me in tears, reminds me of the day we had to say goodbye to our 23 yr old son, he didn't get a honor walk but he did donate, may you rest in paradise youngman ❤
I’m so sorry!
This is the most heartbreaking, heart wrenching thing I have ever witnessed. You were so loved Joshua, that is clear. God please protect his baby girl and his family
To cry for a stranger is where Gods sheds his light!! 🙏🏼
Your comment is so beautiful.
id rather see a ''god'' save a life just once anything! fix a broken finger, something would be better than all this gut wrenching suffering
When his babygirl cried, I cried, I remember that kind of pain cause I was 12 years old when my mom passed. Sweetheart, if you ever read this, just know, the pain will not hurt this bad forever, you will learn to live your life with it AND you WILL ALWAYS make daddy PROUD.
🙏😇🌷❤🌷❤😇🙏
Okay, here's the deal...
While the discussion of addiction OR accidental overdose is a valid one, this is not the time or place for such.
On the worst day of their life, This grieving family & friends shared a very intimate moment. Showing the love & admiration that they share for this beautiful man, who clearly has touched so many around him. As well as the gift of life they have shared at such an excruciatingly difficult time in their lives.
This is the place to honor those things & lift up his family & friends in the worst possible time you can imagine.
Clearly a beautiful soul was lost by all whom he touched.
THIS is the place for THAT discussion.
I send my condolences to the family & friends of this remarkable man. 💔 You have so much to be proud of. R.I.P. Josh. It's not difficult to see that you will be missed by so many.
Wonderfully said you beautiful soul.
Well said!!!!
XxHarmony63Xx...Very well said. Don't worry about the naysayers sitting in judgement, let them keep living because life has a way of showing up with the unexpected. Pray for the family's healing. What and/or why does it matter how this man passed away? The insensitive negative comments brings out the "best" in some humans...not, worst in compassion!
Thank you and well said. Thank you for your gift Josh
To those who have died by overdose I feel they we're in some kind of pain I lost 2 people in my life and I feel they are in peace now with God and now they can be in peace so just think of it that way sorry for your lost sweet heart 💜❤️ rest assure your dad's happy
As a mother of a child who will need a heart donation. This is the most beautiful video I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing 💕🙏
Every so often I search for videos of Josh just to be able to hear his voice again, just to be able to see him again. The first time I read the comment he had just passed. It was really hard to see negative mean comments being made about your family's tragedy. Now 2 years later I have gone through almost every comment, and I am comforted by the amount of lives Josh's honor walk has touched. He WAS a good man and MANY loved him. I wish that would have been enough to save him. I can say the family reads comment and searches for comfort. I know his daughter read comment so thank you for the kind and loving comments to her especially. I have found some comfort knowing Josh has brought so much awareness to drug addiction and people need to see the drug additction is sad, and not to be looked down upon. They are someone's husband, father, brother, son, cousin , and friend. They are loved. They need help. I love you Joshua, it has been almost 2 years exactly and it still doesn't seem real. You touched people's lives all around the world. Till we meet again butt head. 😭❤
sending love from the uk.......
I'm so sorry. I just seen this. I'm crying watching this. I pray for your family and his daughter. God bless..
Excuse my language but how the Hell can you give a thumbs down for this video this family showed so much love for him and i felt so sorry for his daughter but baby girl he is giving someone else a chance at life what a great dad you have
I have to believe in my heart that they were so sad about it that they pushed thumbs down
Harry Burdette thumbs down could also mean that they are sad this happened and not intentionally meant to dislike video but maybe disliking what the family had gone through and the sadness 😭
Because losing a good daddy is the hardest thing we as kid have to go through. Im 39 and not a day goes by that at one point i time my daddy crosses my mind. I cry for him still. I wish i could travel back in time and beg the person not to kill my daddy. He ruined my life. No one and nothing can ever heal that pain.
Harry burdette, because alot of people are just plain heartless!!! 💔
Such morons were described as "oxygen thieves" elsewhere.
It is unfair that these lowly animal species that look like people walk this earth.
While the walk is happening, I can’t help but notice the beautiful pictures they have put up around him to show how wonderful his life was. The picture of him and his wife on their wedding day on his chest, absolutely breaks my heart, they looked so happy. God bless this family.
If it was that good why did he turn to drugs
Addiction is a powerful drug.
@@davidm3maniac201 He could of had chronic pain. Shame on you.

John 16:22 So with you:Now is your time of grief,but I will see you again and you will rejoice,and no one will take away your joy...May God guide you thru this difficult time...Blessings from Cali with love❤
I have never forgotten my time on the organ retrieval team. I'm so glad people talk to the donor patients to the end, as we know hearing is the last sense to leave us. They know you love them and are proud of them. ❤
I work in an operating room in the UK. I am involved with the process of organ donation. Each time I am present I remember. the families and the deeply loved person that I am now tasked to look after. I try to think of the multiple patients out there that will benefit from this final act of heroism. Thank you for your selfless actions. RIP
And you, yours. God bless you.
He left knowing he was truly loved by everyone in his life, Rest In Peace Joshua.
Amen
Thank you for thinking of people like me durring the worst time of your lives. I'm waiting for a kidney transplant. Your kindness is saving and improving lives.
God bless you sweetie
Melissa Walker wishing you all the best for your transplant 🙏
May god bless u Amen 🙏🏽
God bless you and i hope u get a kidney soon🙏🏽
God Bless you. I hope you get your kidney soon. My fiancee donated and saved 4 lives on Valentine's day 3 years ago. Giving his heart on Valentine's Day. 💜 There isn't a day I don't miss him but I am so happy that he was able to save lives. God Bless you.
His father crying over his son, that broke me up and I never recovered.
It's so heartbreaking. Most donors are young of course. They didn't have alot of time here and grow old. All that time they no longer have. It's hard
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful man. It must have been so very hard for you to say goodbye. Just to let you know people are still watching and sending you strength ❤❤
seeing the medical professionals grieve openly with the family warms my heart because it reminds me that we're all human and possess the same emotions and that's something we can all share regardless of how different we all are on both the inside and out. ❤ I pray for continued strength and peace.
My heart goes out to this sweet family.. my heart broke watching the little girl cry and I hurt just knowing how you all loved Josh .. God bless each one and know you’ll see him someday up in Heaven..
I didn't know this man but looking at this, one thing I do know he must have been a great man,to be loved so much.
My GOD, sweet girl.... watching her lay next to him, is killing me inside.......😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 hugs to her and the family..🙏🙏🙏
His cause of death doesn’t change the love his friends and family felt for him and he for them. I pray you can find peace in your memories.
Idk why I came across this. I was looking for songs for my daughters upcoming wedding in July. Ty to Josh & his family for the selfless act of the Gift of Life. I lost a fiancé in 2011 to a heart attack at the age of 41 & his mother & I made the decision to donate whatever they could take. In a way Josh too lives on..when I saw the Nurse wipe her eyes it made me cry all over again. May he rest in peace.
I want to take that child's grief the pain she feels and feel it for her. It's heartbreaking hearing her sob.
Don't you think this could traumatize her for the rest of her life, as she is so young?
I’m sure her mother and everyone in that room wanted to take the pain from his children!
she will have clousure as she mature, if she didnt get to be there she would question why, strengthen her God.
@@2115virgo13 of course they did and still do they are a family. No family wants their child to hurt. But I don't know her and I live in a different country but I still want to take her pain and grief away. Possibly because my mum was 10 when her dad died and she is still feeling the pain and grief. Possibly because she never got to go to the funeral and feels she never got to say goodbye.
Best post I’ve read all day. I’d be happy to share that task with you, for sure. Ugh!
This literally broke my heart in to a million pieces and I never cried so hard over a TH-cam video may God Bless this family and wrap his arms around them in love and peace
This was so heartbreaking to watch. Hearing his daughter cry out and lay with him till the very end made me sob 😭 I just lost my best friend/2nd mother to a overdose but could never imagine being that young and feeling such pain her and her family will forever be in my prayers and I pray they find peace . What this man did to save many lives is truly amazing
I am crying tears of emotion but also tears of joy that god has given him grace. God bless his daughters, I know they’re suffering.
Absolutely beautiful that's the nurses allowed his daughter to curl up with her dad for one final time
Yeah so sad and aww
Like she needs their permission...please.
If that my daddy I will jumb ,,never ask 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my mom when I was 49. I couldn't even imagine losing a parent as a nine-year-old. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.♥️
Why is this in my recommendations? I can’t stop crying
Same🙏
Me too..
Jocelyn France, yes, I have shed so many tears today but it reminds me of how short life is.
😭
Mine too.. IDK why it's recommended I watch 😭😭😭 I'm sobbing
My heart broke for that family. But when that little girl started sobbing and calling out for her dad I lost it
I am always so blown away by the strength and courage these families have. It is a completely selfless act to give life when you are in the the depths of such a horrendous loss of your own. rIP
My heart just broke, and I fell to tears seeing that beautiful little girl who's heart was truly hurting saying over and over how she loves him. Honey, if you see this I know you're pain. I just lost my grandma November 3rd after having her 100 years she would have been 101 in January. It hurts so very much as I too cried as you did telling my grandma how much I love her as she was the one that taught me so much in my life. Pain will lessen in time. It won't be as it was that day, and you will never forget him ever! You hold tight to the memory of him and all the love and good times you had. You grow up to be what he wanted for you and make him proud honey this will be another way to honor him just like that day he gave of himself to save others. You can do so much good in life to help others and honor him in what you choose to do in your life. Honey, make him even more proud then I'm sure he was of you even now.
I believe there are floorboards in heaven that they look down to see us and we can feel there love come through them as they watch over us. You have my love and I share your hearts pain with you and your family.
Debra Barranco
I dont believe organ donors ever truly die, because they live on through the people they save. Physically they're not here but their organs are alive out there. 💙💙💙
Eventually will die one day no matter what
@Metro Cx what's your point dear
@Metro Cx just asking
Thats why I never will be an organ donor
Such a beautiful, heartwarming comment to be responded to with pure negativity. Humans suck.
Your family did a great thing…. I spent several years working as a nurse in the operating theatre, on the retrieval side and recipient side, for two different liver transplant units.. it has been the most job-satisfying work I have ever done..people would often say how depressing that job must be, but it isn’t. Especially when you look at the other side….A number of years ago, I was on a study day on Liver transplant, of course. There were all sorts of speakers, a donor family spoke, a recipient family spoke, doctors and surgeons spoke etc…on the recipient side, a mother spoke about her young son, who was just 2 years old, she had a slideshow of pictures of her son, which showed a jaundiced infant, lying across his moms lap. He appeared to be quite floppy, and sleepy, she told us that he slept for most of the day. We asked her questions, and continued the conversations across our lunchtime, which gave us a much greater understanding of where she was coming from.
Moving on, after lunch we had 3 more speakers to listen to. As we started taking our seats after lunch, there were a couple of kids crawling under the seats, over the seats, and literally running wild. We figured that they must’ve snuck in the room, from the hotel lobby, while we were at lunch, and were just having fun playing amongst the chairs.
But, as it turned out, one of the two kids crawling and jumping around the room, was the same child that we had seen in the slideshow earlier that day. The kiddie had had his liver transplant, and he was just as rambunctious as his brother….
When someone is brain dead, which means they have already passed away, there isn’t anything that you can do to change that..however, as sad as it may be, to offer their organs so that someone else can enjoy the fullness of their life, is the ultimate gift in my book…
The most amazing thing to watch, especially on the recipient side, is to see a liver, (arrives cold, grey and on ice ) get reconnected, and once it is re-perfused, pink up with the flow of fresh blood. It’s truly stunning to see it.. and often within half an hour of re-perfusion, the liver starts working again, and the recipients patient blood work numbers, just get better and better..and they get to go on with their life, thanks to your family member.
This was the most heartbreaking honor walk I have seen. I refuse to watch anymore now. I died this year. My mom found me dead & she had to do CPR & 15 paramedics & firies came. Worked on me for 2.5hrs then finally got a heart beat back at 2bpm but still wasnt breathing so was in a coma for ages. I have seen the way it affected my mom. I wish I could take that pain away from her. ♡ R.I.P Josh! You will always live on in so many families, your daughter, wife, organ receivers etc. ♡♡♡
Did you see anything on the other side?

I have watched many of these Honor Walks over the last few weeks. I am equally heartbroken over them and in awe of the strength and love they and their families have to give their lives so that others may live. I cry for each one of these amazing heros and their families. But Joshua's Honor Walk destroyed me. Seeing the love surrounding him made my heart expand even as their tears....and mine....flowed freely. To Joshua's family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you can take bit of comfort from the fact that part of him lives on in those he so generously gave to. And also the fact that he was so very loved by all of you. And he loved all of you.
To Joshua: You are a true hero to so many. And have inspired me to inquire about becoming a donor. You will always be a guardian angel to those who knew and loved you....and to so many others who didn't....especially those who live on because of your precious gift to them.
R.I.P. Joshua❤
I didn't make it to the end of this video. When his baby girl got in bed with him I fell apart. Entirely to much for me to handle. Brought to tears. RIP Joshua
I'm a crumbling wreck . Heartbreaking .
Even before she got up the bed, i already started crying..so sad so heartbreaking. What happened to him?
I was reading through the comments and somebody said addiction. I'm not sure if it was that or not. People seem to miss the point when the word addiction comes out. To me the point is this man's gift gave someone the chance to live. And that will be something that beautiful little girl can carry with her the rest of her life. Knowing her father die a hero.
Hearing that little girl cry, breaks my heart. I'm over here bawling my eyes out just watching.
I pray they find peace and healing. It's never easy losing someone you love.
I don’t know anything about this beautiful soul - but you were surrounded by so much love. Thank You 🌸
No words to say to help ease the pain of having a loved ones passing away. That little girl beside her Dad what really got to me. I was hoping for her Dad would wake up open his eyes and to turn to look at his daughter and say, I Love You, I will be ok, God gave me another chance with you and your Mom. Rest in Peace Brother, may your family one day see you again very soon.
The nurses crying.....
Just everyone 🥺
Thank you Joshua ❤️
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful husband and father. I wish I could thank him for being an organ donor. From a person needing a heart transplant, I can tell you how very precious this gift is. Transplant patients get a new chance to live. I hope your pain eases and you are comforted knowing how many people he gave new life to that day.
I certainly hope that you receive such a gift. As bittersweet as the circumstances are
I have watch many of these, but this one brought me to tear.
Me too... Particularly the small gal breaking down😭😭😭
Me too..so lost of words..he was so young..ive watched plenty..this video crushed me
All these precious videos bring me to😢😢😢😢R.I.P
Angela Sparks same
This Is So Sad 😢....
I just want to hug that little girl. Thank you, Sir for giving such an an amazing gift. And little one, you will be in my prayers.
This was without doubt very difficult to witness.
Although being extremely heartbreaking, the witnessing of such deep love was absolutely beautiful.
Such an act of unselfish kindness in the midst of pain and heartbreak, the gift of donation.

The most precious gift someone can give a total stranger in the worst time for loved ones. What a honorable young man you were. Blessings on your way home to our maker. May God put his hands on your loved ones.
Thank you for sharing such a difficult moment with us. You brought me into your world and I can tell that he meant a lot to you all. He touched so many lives. He did his purpose, he fulfilled his duties and was called home. What a beautiful end to his story, that he saved other lives so they can also fulfill their duties. My heart goes out to you all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh my GOD! That poor little girl! My heart broke for her. I work in a V.A. Medical Center and I have to give out a shout to ALL nurses. It's one thing when you see the family grieving, but when you see the nurses crying... DAMN!!! May our creator bless this family and that little girl. Hug her every minute...
Beautiful memories captured ❣
Life is continuous...this earth is just a tiny piece of it...heaven is where our real home is and where your loved one now resides....enjoy all the beautiful gifts and unconditionall love.
Your loved one just arrived a little earlier than the rest of us...he will be waiting patiently till our lifes work is complete.
Thank you so much for being a ultimate organ donor❣
My late fiancee became one too in 2008 doing what he loved riding his motorcycle, 2011 in his honor I became a living kidney donor to my insurance agent
God bless.....and he has❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
To the little girl,
Be strong, he still loves you.
Cherish the moments you were with him.
I lost my Dad on the day I was born...I wish I have a few memories

I watch a lot of these videos but this one really got me teary-eyed ❤
That little girl losing her daddy is the saddest thing I have ever seen. I hope your days are brighter honey. Your dad is a hero to those needing him most.
1st the room is packed with loved ones.😢they had pictures taped too his bed. This young man was so loved. My heart broke 💔for his wife family and it was so special the nurse helped his daughter on his bed. She needed that.

Crystal Hill me three
To see the nurse with tears, so touching. I am one who sometimes assists with the donation. I always shed tears afterwards. They are all someone who is loved so much, and despite it being such a wonderful gift, it's still so sad, for so many people. It always makes my heart hurt for the families.
R.I.P Joshua. Thank you for your amazing gift.
Saying goodbye to a loved one is hard my deepest sympathy goes out to your family it’s a blessing to donate his organs 😢❤❤❤
I don’t know this family and I was in tears by the end of this video. Seeing the little daughter in pain over losing her daddy struck my heart, and could only imagine my sons feeling that way if they ever lost my husband. Bless him for donating his organs and saving lives. My heart goes out for the whole family, and I wish I could personally hug each and everyone of you.
I have felt that babies pain in 2014 myself. I hope her little heart starts to heal soon and remember he loves u still
I'm sorry for your loss... not something that a child so young should have to deal with.
Wieczny odpoczynek racz im dać Panie a Światłość wiekuista niechaj im świeci na wieki wieków. Amen
As a nurse I always cried with my patients , families and friends over any loss. The selflessness of these families who donate the gift of life to so many I know will be blessed. I just don't understand anyone who would give a thumbs down to this show of respect!♥️🙏💐
Wow. This man and how he lived for his friends and family, to generate such an outpouring of love, has touched the hearts of a million strangers around the world. Can’t ask for a better epitaph than that.
It's amazing and such a comfort for everyone in the family to see how many lives he has touched. Thank you for you kind heartfelt comment. ❤
This was by far one of the most saddest walk of honor I have watched😢couldn't stop the tears...and I seen some of the comments on what happened to him and none of us has any room to throw stones at someone else when we don't know them personally never walked a day in their skin and even if then who of us could stand if God kept count of all our shortcomings no one is perfect so it matters none the demons he battled he's gone so may his family find comfort in The God of all comfort.
I have watched a ton of these but goodness, I’m sobbing like a baby at this one. God bless you all.
I'm so sorry for the loss of this wonderful man. God bless all of the family and friends, and condolences to all who are involved. And, God bless the family for the wonderful gift that Josh has given to those in need. This reminds me of how precious life is, and that we should appreciate our lives and the lives of all of our loved ones. Rest in peace Joshua. I cried along with them. His daughter hurting just breaks my heart.
I’m not crying...I just have something in my eye. These videos are so heartbreaking but also so inspiring because of what the families who lose someone they love do for those who don’t have a chance without their help. I could not stop crying when the girl curled up next to him. RIP Joshua for you are now with Jesus up in heaven and all those you left behind and loved you so much will see you again some day
This is a very well loved man. Completely broke my heart. Especially when they put that little girl up there with him. My heart goes out to his family and friends. As a donor family, the Living Legacy Foundation will always be there for you! God bless this family.
It breaks my heart to hear that precious baby cry for her father. So young to have to go through something so traumatic. God bless the family that mourn Josh’s death.
I couldn't listen anymore. His precious daughter cry took me all the way out. 😭😭😭 I pray the sweet memories brings her comfort. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Diamond Prencess same. Heart wrenching.
I had to mute it to keep from crying myself.
God bless his beautiful daughter I hope she's getting the right help and support, and may her Dad rip😥💔💔💔
These honor walks get more and more touching. The precious little girl in this video melts my heart. Must be her daddy. I cry with her. Bless 🙏 this precious 👼 and his family he left behind.
